2. Scripture Reading
• “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High Will remain secure and rest in the shadow of the
Almighty [whose power no enemy can withstand]. I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my
fortress, My God, in whom I trust [with great confidence, and on whom I rely]!” For He will save
you from the trap of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you and completely
protect you with His pinions, And under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield
and a wall. You will not be afraid of the terror of night, Nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of
the pestilence that stalks in darkness, Nor of the destruction (sudden death) that lays waste at
noon. A thousand may fall at your side And ten thousand at your right hand, But danger will not
come near you. You will only [be a spectator as you] look on with your eyes And witness the [divine]
repayment of the wicked [as you watch safely from the shelter of the Most High]. Because you
have made the LORD, [who is] my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil will
befall you, Nor will any plague come near your tent. For He will command His angels in regard to
you, To protect and defend and guard you in all your ways [of obedience and service]. They will lift
you up in their hands, So that you do not [even] strike your foot against a stone. You will tread
upon the lion and cobra; The young lion and the serpent you will trample underfoot. “Because he set
his love on Me, therefore I will save him; I will set him [securely] on high, because he knows My
name [he confidently trusts and relies on Me, knowing I will never abandon him, no, never]. He will
call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him and honor him.
With a long life I will satisfy him And I will let him see My salvation.””Psalms 91:1-16 AMP
